We'll be updating this thread will all of our new reviews and interviews, but you can also follow us on Facebook and Twitter:

Rocka Rollas - Conquer - This is the most authentic Running Wild worship in existence! The new EP comes out next month on Stormspell records and is only a taste of the second album "Metal Strikes Back"

Thanks a lot for this review man

No worries man! Thank you for the great music! I love the first album as well as the EP and I can't wait to hear the full-length.

Also, for what it's worth, I think the current singer of Rocka Rollas is perfect for Blazon Stone's Return To Port Royal!

Gamma Ray - Skeletons & Majesties Live - This album had a great performance, but I was very letdown by the setlist. It's still worth listening to just for "Watcher In the Sky" and "Men, Martians, and Machines", but this wasn't quite what I was expecting.

Orden Ogan - To The End - I have Empyreal to thank for introducing me (and many others) to this band. This is some seriously enjoyable power metal in the vein of Blind Guardian. Fortunately for us, it's much better than Blind Guardian's recent output!

You should look into Vale, their second album. It's by far their best.

Thanks for the recommendation, I'll definitely check into it.

Also, we should have a new review coming in the next couple of days of a band that I think people will really enjoy!

Insinnerator - Hypothermia - This band is definitely one we love to promote at SFM. Their new EP Hypothermia is a riff-tastic thrash album. Definitely buy this album, along with their debut, "Stalagmite of Ice".

Heavatar - Opus I - All My Kingdoms - This is a new project featuring Stefan Schmidt (Van Canto) and Jorg Michaels (Stratovarius, Running Wild). They have some fairly memorable songwriting and incorporate a lot of different power metal sounds into one album.

He could surely be great for that album too, but I want to keep the projects as separate as possible so I need another singer really

Fair enough. I love your work so much that I just want to see it released

Coldsteel - America Idle - An old-school thrash band is back from the dead to give us some very enjoyable tracks. Think Xentrix (For Whose Advantage) on this one, but it's even still unique compared to that.

Even better - I am right now trying to get a live line-up together, possibly make them official members so that I don't have to do everything myself hahaha

Voivod - Target Earth - The Canadian thrashers are back with an album that sounds like it came from the Killing Technology/Dimension Hatross era! If you haven't heard this yet, be sure to give it a listen!
